Waiting on a snowy night…

And you shall speak

I’m alone in this house… Nan has taken Peter out to a holiday street fair, and then, as tomorrow is her day off, out to her family in the countryside.? “The boy needs good country air,” she says.? She will never admit it, but she’s fond of the boy.? ? “Miss Hide, are you sure you’ll be alright?? You should come with us, at least to the fair”? ? Peter tried… but I only smiled, and wished they have a good day, and assured them that I could keep an eye on myself.? I don’t tell them…

I’m waiting on someone.
I still can’t think of Hajime and not have my heart skip a beat… like I’m flying.?
The drizzle from earlier has changed, and soft flakes whirl by my window as I peer outside, impatient, looking for a tall figure to come down the street.?
I can’t wait to see him.? It seems like it’s always too long… no matter where or when in all of these worlds that? we are to meet up.? It’s on the red sofa in this place that I try to sit -calmly-, even if I can’t stop fiddling with the lace on my sleeves.?

Thoughts:
jubilant jubilant

Hide may I ask? Why is a part of you still here? Or am I mistaken, had you left London already? I had thought someone had come to get you, to close what was left unfinished in this place with dreary skies… Return you to where you came from? It is probably too late to ask but it is something I must know. I… I had not dared to look back here again for so long, for reasons you know already. However, if a part of you is still here, then I, the one you met in london, cannot leave you alone. *finds a place to sit outside the glass garden and smokes waiting for an answer* Is there something you wanted? Something that you needed to do? *looks down at the ground covered in snow* If not…

First, don’t sit outside. Second… thank you. I’ve not been here in a long time, and would never had known, had I not been sent on a “mission”.I was led out of here a long time ago, and it was done in a space beyond this one. *smiles* It was done so well, I never looked back to “turn off the lights”, as it were.

I’m needed at home… and… *smiles* there’s no place I’d rather be. Everything I went looking for in this place was in my own, all along.
Don’t wait here anymore, please. Thank you again.
*smiles softly as she walks through the empty house, cutting her way across time and space, to get back to where she belongs*

I watch as she leaves and there’s this voice calling me back offering me a cigarette… I look one more time at her garden, one that has now withered. There is a boy I know here that can take care of it. His name is Peter. I send him word before going back to my home… To Tokyo… That’s where my answers lie.
